In this encouraging message, Trevor teaches how gratitude is a powerful spiritual posture that realigns your heart with God's presence. Through passages in Philippians, Colossians, Ephesians, Psalms, and 1 Thessalonians, he shows how thankfulness produces peace, maturity, resilience, and deeper worship. A timely reminder that gratitude is not just a response — it is the will of God and the lifestyle of a growing believer.

The Christian podcast episode "An Attitude of Gratitude" features Minister Joe Granieri teaching that thankfulness is an essential settled way of thinking for believers, positioning it as God's remedy for all circumstances, including trials and tribulations. Joe asserts that under the New Covenant, Christians already possess authority and do not need to beg God, but must actively "fan into flame the gift of God" within them. A major component of this message is the insistence on the "absolute goodness of God," stressing that God does not cause sickness, calamity, or anger toward His people. He explains that thanksgiving is the key to spiritual activation, granting "access to God's tangible presence," enabling the flow of peace during tribulation, and releasing His "creative and resurrection power." Finally, Joe warns that a lack of gratitude, exemplified by the nine unthankful lepers, actively limits the power of God in a person's life and prevents them from experiencing complete wholeness.

Lakeway Baptist Church

This is a very special Monday because it's Thanksgiving week here in the United States. This is the week we pause to express gratitude for the people in our lives, for what we've been given, and for what we've accomplished. But gratitude isn't just a feel-good emotion reserved for the holidays. It's also a performance- and life-enhancing routine that can give you sales superpowers. Gratitude Builds a Strong Mindset Sales is a mental game. Your mindset, attitude, and beliefs have more impact on your sales outcomes and ultimate success than any technique, script, or strategy ever will. This isn't soft psychology. This is neuroscience. Gratitude activates the parts of your brain associated with reward and emotional regulation. It releases dopamine and serotonin, neurotransmitters that make you feel good, leading to increased happiness and decreased anxiety and stress. Your confidence rises, your mind clears, you gain emotional control, and you make wiser decisions. Gratitude fundamentally rewires how your brain processes the world around you. When you practice gratitude consistently, your brain shifts from focusing on what could go wrong and starts seeing what could go right. Gratitude and insidious self-pity cannot coexist. Instead of dwelling on the deal you lost, the prospect that rejected you, or the leads you don't have, you appreciate the lessons you've learned and the opportunities still in front of you. But it goes deeper than just feeling better. Gratitude Builds Resilience In sales, you face rejection constantly. Bad weeks, tough months, prospects who ghost you after months of work, and deals that fall apart at the last minute, even though you did everything right. In this brutal profession, the salespeople who survive and thrive are the ones who bounce back faster from these inevitable setbacks. One of the key traits of highly successful people is an enduring belief that everything happens for a reason. When you can find something to appreciate even in difficult situations, you maintain your emotional stability. You don't spiral into negativity. You don't let one bad call ruin your entire day. Instead, you process the setback, learn from it, and move forward. Abundance vs Scarcity Thinking When you focus on what you do have—your skills, your relationships, your opportunities, your resources—you shift from scarcity thinking to abundance thinking. Scarcity thinking is the mother of negativity. It says: "I don't have enough leads. I don't have enough time. I don't have enough support. I'm going to miss my number." Abundance thinking is a mindset of opportunity and potential. It says: "Look at the skills I've developed. Look at the customers who trust me. Look at the opportunities in my pipeline. Look at what's possible." When you operate from gratitude and abundance, you become more creative, more energetic, more persistent. You stop fixating on limitations and start exploring possibilities. You show up differently. You bring positive energy. And people feel it. They want to work with people who are confident, positive, and focused on what's possible rather than what's impossible. Cultivating an Attitude of Gratitude But here's the thing. You don't wait to feel grateful. You choose to practice gratitude. The feelings follow. Every morning, you are empowered to make a conscious choice about where to focus your attention. You can focus on what's missing, what's wrong, who's against you, and what's hard. Or you can focus on what's present, what's working, what's possible. Both perspectives contain truth. But only one moves you forward toward the success and happiness you are seeking. Here are some practical ways to build gratitude into your daily routine: Keep a gratitude journal. Every morning or evening, write down three things you're grateful for. My friend Eric, who suffered from a severe brain injury, does this, and the impact it has had on his recovery is nothing short of a miracle. Thank someone every day. Send a text, an email, or better yet, make a phone call. Thank a customer. Thank a colleague. Thank a team member. Express genuine appreciation for something specific they've done. People naturally gravitate toward those who express genuine appreciation. When you thank a customer for their business, when you acknowledge a colleague's help, when you recognize someone's support, you strengthen those relationships. It makes you someone people want to work with, buy from, and help succeed. Mentally acknowledge the good. During your day, when something positive happens, pause for just a moment and mentally acknowledge it or say a prayer of thanks. Don't let it pass by unnoticed. Reframe challenges. When something goes wrong, ask yourself: "What can I learn from this? What opportunity might this create? What's the hidden gift in this situation?" This isn't about pretending problems don't exist. It's about looking for the lessons and possibilities within them. Start your week with gratitude. Every Monday, give thanks for the week ahead and the opportunity you've been given to make a difference in your life, for your family, company, and customers. The beautiful thing about gratitude is that it is like a muscle; it gets stronger with exercise. My Gratitude to You Before wrapping up, I want to take this opportunity to pause and express my gratitude to you. I'm grateful to you for listening to the Sales Gravy podcast. My team and I pour our hearts into producing this show, and your support means everything to us. Your comments, your reviews, your messages telling us how the podcast has helped you, fuels us. I'm thankful for the fans of my books. Writing is one of my greatest joys in life, and you make that possible. Every time someone tells me that "Fanatical Prospecting," or "Sales EQ," or "The LinkedIn Edge" changed their career, it reminds me why I do this work. I'm grateful for the companies around the world that trust Sales Gravy to train their teams. You let us into your organizations, trust us with your people, and give us the opportunity to make a real difference. That's a privilege we never take for granted. I'm grateful for the sales professionals who invest in themselves through Sales Gravy University. Your commitment to getting better inspires us to keep creating better content. And most of all, I'm grateful for the amazing people who choose to work at Sales Gravy. We are blessed with an incredible team that wakes up every morning focused on serving you and making a difference. They're the reason we can do what we do. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your professional journey. Reflecting on Gratitude So as we head into Thanksgiving week, I'll leave you with this simple reflection: Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, there would be nothing left to reach for, no reason to dream, no horizon pulling you forward. Be thankful that you don't know everything. It means life still has mysteries to reveal and lessons waiting to shape you. Be thankful for the difficult times. It's in these seasons that you grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient. Be thankful for your limitations. They remind you that there is still room to stretch, improve, and become more than you are today. Be thankful for challenges and obstacles. They forge your strength, your courage, and your character. These are the things that truly endure. Be thankful for your mistakes, because each one is a teacher guiding you toward better choices and deeper understanding. Be thankful for what you've been given. Every gift is proof that someone cares, someone believes in you, someone has invested in your journey. Be thankful for the people who push you, support you, frustrate you, and inspire you. Each one plays a role in shaping the person you are becoming. Be thankful for beginnings, endings, and every transition in between. They are the chapters and seasons of a life story still being written. Be thankful for Monday, because Monday brings new possibilities. And at the end of the day, when you are tired and weary, when you've stopped and made one more call, be thankful because it means you've made a difference. An attitude of gratitude changes how you approach your day—and your prospects. My new book, The LinkedIn Edge, shows you how to leverage that mindset to build genuine connections, engage with your network, and create opportunities that actually convert.

WOW!!!

An Attitude of Gratitude Philippians 4:6-7 In this world of keeping up appearances and keeping up with the Joneses, it can be easy to fall into the trap of focusing on what we don't have. This isn't God's will for us for when we live like that, we're never content, never at peace and never grateful. But God wants something different for His children. He wants us to be a people who are grateful and thankful for all He has provided for us. Paul writes this. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. As Christians, we have a Good Father who loves us and blesses us beyond measure. When we choose to count our many blessings, what we're really choosing is to be grateful, to be thankful and to walk in humility. And this pleases the Lord, in fact, He promises that when we choose gratitude that He will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus and fill us with peace from heaven. Glory Hallelujah! So beloved, this day and every day may you choose to have an attitude of gratitude. I love y'alldoug

2 Timothy 1:3-7, Philippians 1:3-4,7 Ann Robertson brought the message this Sunday prior to Thanksgiving. She reminded us of the importance of being grateful for the people in our lives who have made a difference and reflected on the ways that gratitude benefits us. Ann also provided some solutions to address times when we might not be so grateful, three of which were portrayed humorously by Hans. As Paul told the church in Philippi, "I thank God every time I think of you."

Welcome to the Christian's Hour Program, Thanks for joining us! TCH is a ministry of Gospel Broadcasting Mission. GBM's mission is to broadcast the message of Jesus, in their heart's language, to unreached people groups and tribes world-wide.This week we celebrate Thanksgiving, a National Holiday since 1863, that traces its origins to the Pilgrims in 1621. Thanksgiving's origins came out of a deep-rooted sense of gratitude to God. These days it almost seems the Holiday is tied more to family gatherings and meals, and giving thanks is secondary. Maybe it's time for a “course correction” to get back to our roots of giving thanks, to God?!This month, Bob Russell, is helping us with an “Thanksgiving Season - Heart Check” in preparation for a more meaningful Thanksgiving. Bob Russell is a retired senior minister of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, where he served for 40 years as “Southeast” became one of the largest churches in America. There is an old proverb that says “you reap what you sow”.

For the third week of our Attitude of Gratitude series, we consider the wisdom of 12th-century mystic, Meister Eckhart, “If the only prayer you ever say in all your life is ‘Thank You', it will be enough.” When we think prayer, when we think gratitude, life becomes simpler. When we practice prayer as gratitude or gratitude as prayer, we discover deeper levels of a basic and simple principle reflecting our 3rd Principle: What we focus on is what we experience.  Join us this Sunday as Rev. Aliza leads us in exploring this sacred simplicity and the transformative power of grateful prayer.

 Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's Podcast! This exploration of 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 challenges us to see gratitude not as a fleeting feeling we chase, but as a deliberate rhythm we cultivate daily. We're invited into three simple yet profound commands: rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances. These aren't mere suggestions—they're God's explicit will for our lives.  Gratitude isn't just our response to God's grace; it's our participation in it. When we practice thankfulness, we don't just acknowledge blessings—we position ourselves at the feet of Jesus, entering into transformational communion with Him.
